An organization attempting to amend the U.S. Constitution will hold an informational meeting at 5:30 p.m. Monday, May 21 at the Poway Library.

Formed in 2013 the Convention of States Action so far has secured enough support of voters signing petitions in 12 of the required 34 states to call for an amendments convention, according to California regional captain Fredrick Yerrick of Rancho Bernardo. The group is seeking amendments addressing fiscal responsibility, limiting the power and scope of the federal government and creating term limits for all federal representative, not including the Supreme Court, he said. The wording of any proposed amendments must be approved by voters of 26 states before going to an election, Yerrick said. Amendments must be ratified by the voters of 38 state to become law.
